Finally finished writing the second volume, hereby announcing to the respected readers that I will disappear for a while.
The main reason is...went off track.
This book has actually gone off track very seriously, don't know if anyone has noticed. How to put it, I am an author who often writes outlines, but after finishing the outlines, hehe, I just don't follow them when I write!
In short: went off track.
The original intention of this book was to be humorous and funny, but why did it turn out like this as I kept writing? The reason is still myself, because as I was writing, new ideas would pop up in my head, and I thought they were very interesting, so I just went with them.
The outlines and original story designs etc. are not important at all.
For example in the first volume, everything was going well in the beginning. Starting from Forgetting Enmity, I gradually went off track, and the style started to change, as everyone has seen.
Also for example in the second volume, I swear, my original intention was to bring the style back, but the result...
In fact, Lu Gaosheng's original design was not handsome, but a bit short and fat, with a cute look. And this little fatso was extremely timid, because he became the county magistrate relying on his wife.
Everyone in the city knew that the county magistrate Lu was timid and incompetent. The subsequent series of stories would also unfold around these characteristics, and the pace could be written in a very humorous way.
But why is the second volume completely different from my outline?
Because as I kept writing, I had new ideas again, redesigned it, and then successfully went off track. The humorous comedy I wanted to write was completely gone.
Now onto the third volume.
As expected, I went off track again.
But now halfway through, I suddenly realized...I can't tie it back up!!
I'm currently very frustrated. I definitely can't publish the half I've written now, because I may change it anytime, or even rewrite from scratch. This is also my current dilemma - whether to rewrite from scratch or modify.
If rewrite, the nearly 100k words I've written would be wasted. If modify, I would have to first clear up my thoughts and revise chapter by chapter.
Painful, painful.
But everyone don't need to worry about me losing inspiration, because I actually have a new idea now, although it's about a later part of the story, it makes me very excited and looking forward to it.
Compared to readers, what I look forward to the least is Zhang San cultivating into immortality, because from the first chapter, this is a set plot. What excites me usually comes from some random ideas I get, like the new idea now:
Zhang San meets Song YanShi.
But it's not that they meet and start fighting, but more like a conversation, with hatred but also rationality, I look forward to writing something between these two characters.
So please wait for me for a bit.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
